"Sticking With the U.S."

"We appreciate you sticking up for the U.S. We think you're right," one woman told Thompson. At the soapbox Thompson had voiced his impatience with the U.S. feeling that it has to apologize for every move in the world it makes. "This nation has shed more blood bringing peace to others," Thompson said. "I'm tired of apologizing for being the United State of America."

I am so tired of people acting like what the rest of the world thinks of the U.S. is the most important issue of the day. I say, "Defend ourselves first and then, maybe, worry about the rest of you."

After all, when it is all said and done, they will agree with us anyway. If everybody in the world hates the U.S., why did Germany, Australia and France elect pro-U.S. governments after the beginning of the current war.

Perhaps it's jealousy. There's not a country in the world that can compare with the U.S. in military strength, industrial capability, financial power or even, doggone it, being happy and well, people do really like me, us, I mean, the U.S.
